Overview
- Acting on intelligence, the Thane Anti‑Narcotics Cell intercepted a courier and seized about 3.020 kg of charas and 12,984 tramadol capsules, with the total haul valued at roughly Rs 3.03 crore and three people arrested.
- Follow-up probes led to arrests in Jammu and Kashmir, and Anantnag police separately recovered 104 grams of a charas‑like substance and Rs 25.50 lakh cash while detaining an alleged local peddler under FIR No. 154/2026.
- Officials identified one arrested Thane suspect as a repeat offender and said technical analysis and phone data helped trace backward linkages to suppliers in Anantnag and Kupwara.
- Cases have been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and investigators are now mapping financial flows and collaborator networks to disrupt the cross‑state trafficking route.
- Police have appealed for confidential public tips to help identify upstream suppliers and distributors, and authorities say the seizures and remands aim to curtail the market supply chain that links parts of Jammu and Kashmir with western India.
